Misheard Lyrics

Penn

Dancing Up A Storm
In his song "Purple Haze," did Jimi Hendrix sing,
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky" or "Excuse me
while I kiss this guy"?

You can find out at this Web site

of misheard song lyrics.

By the way, misheard song and poetry
lyrics are called mondegreens. The expression originated with a
British writer who misheard the last lines of a poem called
"The Bonny Earl of Murray."

The real lines are:
They ha'e slain the Earl of Murray, and they laid him on the Green,
but she heard They ha'e slain the Earl of Murray, and Lady
Mondegreen.
